Renee Schafer Horton of the Tucson Citizen reports that Rep. John Kavanagh, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is starting to back-track on his proposal to cut AZ universities by hundreds of millions of dollars!

The patronizing tone of his statements is nauseating. Basically claiming that the public has misinterpreted his list of ideas for actual proposals, he laments students, teachers, parents and community leaders getting bent out of shape over them.
What, exactly, did he expect? If the ideas were just brainstorming, then they should never have become public. Why is it acceptable to ridicule his constituents for taking his proposals seriously? And why does he refuse to define his own term "significantly less"? Were the outrageously high cuts proposed in order to make the public relieved when slightly lesser cuts are eventually enacted?
Demand that Rep. Kavanagh explain himself: jkavanagh@azleg.gov
